Post Ratings Discussion

What's the appropriate post rating for immense fucking rëtards who spam a forum?

Sorry. It was an accident. I thought it wasn't going through.

 

[BoJack Horseman]

Can we please have a liar rating for posts like this?

I usually rate those "Optimistic"

 

[ToroidalBoat]

what if there was a silly skull rating for spoopy posts?

(but it was only available during the halloween theme)

At times the expanded ratings like Deviant, Semper Fi and Drink have shown up for me for some reason. However, when I tried using them, it didn't let me and said I didn't have permission to view this page or do this action. How does that work and how do you get access to those ratings in the first place?

It sometimes appears to me too, it's only a technical glitch at worst. The only way to actually be able to use those ratings is to get T&HF status.

We need a cringe rating.

Maybe that or something more original.

I'm sorry but I don't have time to ready through 105 pages but why are "Achievement" and "Semper Fidelis" shown in my ratings but when I choose it says, "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."

You have to fork over cash to Null to get access to those ratings (aka a True And Honest Fan). Sometimes they show up in everyone's ratings but it's usually corrected.

needs to be a rating

A skeleton should be a rating.

TBH I still think of "horrifying" as a bone.

I only recently realized "deviant" is yellow teeth and not a pair of women's underwear. Is there an origin on where it's from?

I always thought it was a Rocky Horror reference.

I thought "dumb" was a pair of marshmallows until the ratings were redesigned.

I feel like people use the rating completely wrong, i.e. "your post is about something crazy," a la "islamic" is used as the poor man's "horrifying", when it's supposed to be a negative rating. Maybe it should become a neutral one like :horrifying: But who cares. The only reason I'm bringing it up is because now points are used to make "highlights" and sometimes something that gets a "lunacy" rating (like an exceptionally crazy tranny in the sideshows thread) actually deserves a bump in it's rating rather than a net loss. (A lot of islamic gets thrown around in that thread too) Ah well there is not much to do about it, ratings undergo semantic shift all the time and I guess it's a moving target.

I don’t think people are using it wrong, but I think it should be a neutral rating. I’ve rarely seen it used to rate the content of actual user’s posts as crazy, it’s usually used for screenshots of people saying crazy shit. So it shouldn’t negatively affect user’s scores. Islamic Content being negative makes sense. It’s a one-up to horrifying. (At least from what I’ve seen.)

I’ve seen negatively rated posts being highlighted, so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make about that.

What I mean to say is don't negative ratings in effect cancel out positive ratings with respect to whether a post will be considered good enough to be highlighted? In that case "lunacy" ratings in threads that are supposed to be about loony subjects seem unfair to be counted negatively. They should be neutral IMO. "Islamic" is another one that underwent a similar shift: it's supposed to mean (IMO) "why the fuck would you even post shit like this" but it's applied to on-topic posts which contain "islamic content" by their very nature (cf. pictures of SRS disasters in the troon threads) this is why I called it the "poor man's horrifying"

I had no idea that was a negative rating, how do you figure that out with the new forum software? Just looking at how your reaction score changes? Is there a place to find exactly what each rating's value is?

Could we please get a Kosher rating?
